because the earth and the sun is not in the thermal contact with each other that is why the earth & the sun is not in thermal equilibrium.

Why must it be the sun that provides thermal energy to the earth?
Sun provides heat to earth's surface. It provides thermal energy to the earth.
Why the sun is not equilibrium with earth?
While the earth and the sun are roughly at steady state (the output of the sun stays fairly constant and the earth absorbs the energy from it at a fairly constant rate) they are not in equilibrium. To be at equilibrium, they would have to be sending out and receiving equal amounts of energy and mass. The sun sends out far more energy than the earth as well as dumping a lot more mass, in the form of "solar winds" than the earth ever does - thus they are not in equilibrium.
What is special about the entropy in thermodynamic equilibrium compared to all statesof a system?
In thermal equilibrium, and only in thermal equilibrium, entropy is constant.
Is there a change in an objects thermal energy if the object is at thermal equilibrium?
no
Were does the energy come from that evaporate water on the earth?
This is thermal radiation of the Sun.
Why the earth is not thermal equilibrium with the sun?
because the earth and the sun is not in the thermal contact with each other that is why the earth & the sun is not in thermal equilibrium.
Why the earth is not in thermal equilibrium with yhe sun?
To be in thermal equilibrium, it would have to have the same temperature. (It isn't.)
Why must it be the sun that provides thermal energy to the earth?
Sun provides heat to earth's surface. It provides thermal energy to the earth.
Is earth and sun in thermal contact?
No, heat travels from the sun to earth by radiation.

Two bodies Are in rotational equilibrium if they are at the same temperature?
They are in thermal equilibrium, not rotational equilibrium.
Why the earth is not in thermal equlibrium with the sun?
Most likely because the Sun is constantly performing nuclear fusion, while Earth is not.
How the sun transfer energy to earth?
the sun transfer the heat to earth by radiation of heat
Is there a change in an objects thermal energy if the object is at thermal equilibrium?
no
